Changes nicely across the tongue and as it opens up. More pepper than plum, but not hot or overwhelming. — 5 months ago

2016 is a relatively week vintage for Argentina Malbec but this shows exceptionally well.
Fragrant and layered, the nose shows ripe blackberries, plums, vanilla, nutmeg, touch of tobacco, and hint of dusty violets. Juicy and refined palate with fine balance of fresh acidity and plush fruits. Velvety tannins.
Not very complex and deep, but this has the elegance that I don’t often see with bottles in this price range. Peaking now. — 5 months ago

Normally I don't like torrontes. But this was wonderfully floral and crisp. No soapiness. — 7 years ago
